manner to produce final business outcomes. Organizations that fail to clearly define structure and culture often fails at customer satisfaction and generating profitable business opportunities. The process of management, complaint system and management are directly linked with organizational structure. the structure also defines the way different departments of organization are linked with each other to ease the communication and coordination process (Ahmad, 2009).

It is also important organizational structure and culture must match with each other to ease smooth execution of business activities. For example, a hierarchical structure will best suit with task culture to divide the various tasks among the teams formed. The teams will coordinate with each other and involve in decision making. The structure and culture both correspond to each other and are targeted towards achievement of common goals. Similarly, the power culture at Marks and Spencer will match with flat organization structure as decision making rests at the senior level that strictly monitors and controls business operations (Densten, 2008).

People who have good grasping power, learning behavior can easily work efficiently as compared to people who are less skilled and with less abilities. Managers at Marks and Spencer also have big responsibilities to match the standard of people according to their work.

Personality- This factor also influences individual at work place as there are various kinds of personalities in people like optimism/pessimism and all these things can easily affect any person. It is one of the most important duty of manager to analyze the personality of an individual and if he founds that personality of any individual is not good then various efforts should be made to improve that (McGinnis, 2014).

Attitude- Different factors like family, society, etc can also affects a person in different manner.

Autocratic leadership: An autocratic leadership style is style in which leader takes all the decisions. It can be said that all the decision making powers are centralized in leaders. They do not involve the suggestions of employees or subordinates. However, the kind of leadership style is used at the place where employees do not any experience and they require supervision.

As a positive aspect the leadership style is profitable to train new employees. But sometime it can reduce the employees' participation as they bee de- motivated. Let's have an example : Barchester Healthcare is the UK bases health-care organization and considered as 10th is top hundred companies (Zhang and Li, 2012). The leaders of business entity use autocratic style as employee need lots of supervision. It allows organization to take quick decision and considered as the best style that motivates the employees of Barchester. It is valuable in some types of business where decisions need to be made quickly and decisively.

Participative leadership: This style is also called as demographic leadership style. The leaders who adopt this kind of leadership styles generally favor decision making by groups. The positive aspects pf such leadership is that leaders involve the suggestions of subordinates and employees. In this way people of an organization can be motivated positively towards common goals. The employees whether they are from top middle level or from upper level management can participate in decision making process by giving their suggestions. However, this leadership style can be used to organization whose employees are qualified and experienced. This style is considered good compared to autocratic leadership style. This helps leader in thinking on different ideas and take an optimal one. It increases the effectiveness of decisions (Downs, 2004). For an example : Marriott International hotel is the organization working in UK hospitality sector. In this industry it is very important to take the views of employees as they have direct connection with the customers. The management of Marriott hotel use participative leadership style. In this way , it involves employees in decision making process.

Laisser-faire: In Laisser-faire leadership style, leader allows maximum freedom to the subordinates. The workers develop their own policies and methods of working. They are free to make target which provide them flexible environment in their work. Sometimes such leadership style can become risky for the leaders as they give authorities to employees fort making decision.

This kind of leadership style is required where creative ideas are important (McIntyre, 2007). However, the people of such organization are highly motivated as they have control over their working. For example : Iceland Group is the global sales and marketing company for frozen food based on UK. It offers online services across the UK. The leaders and managers of Iceland use the Laisser-faire leadership style to encourage their workers towards achieving common goals.

2.2 Explain how organizational theory underpins the practice of management Organization theories are crucial for business entities as they can influence the performance of companies in all aspects.

operations. The roles of organizational theories are important in gaining business effectiveness and success. Management theories include different ideas and general rules that help managers at workplace. It helps managers in understanding the goals of organization (McLean, 2012).

It helps managers in managing people in the organization and enhancing organizational effectiveness.

They can plan their work according to achieve the goals in the best effective manner.

This can reduce the wastage of resources and can provide better results to the organization.

Using such theories at a same time will be helpful in motivating people towards the goals. There are different management theories such as classical, Neo- classical and bureaucratic theories.

Classical theories are the oldest one that is dated back to the industrial revolution. These focuses on work planning, balance between authority and responsibility and logical behaviors at workplace (Barua, 2012). Neo-classical theories emphasis on developing better human relations with management therefore these are called as human relations theories. Both the theories are used at workplace to boost the efficiency. Management uses these theories because it helps in grooming their job practice and become successful in life. Although, it is difficult to use the theory in a particle scenario but managers need to create an environment to adopt such theories in corporate practices. For an example : the employees can understand the process of identifying the ways to achieve their goals. They follow a set structure to attain the goals. These theories also support management to make effective decisions for organization. Addition to this , the workforce can understand the need of change in change the structures and practices of company.

In this way role of individual can be identify at workplace and management can interpret roles in terms of organizational theory. For an extant these theories can underpin the personal values of individuals at the workplace. Sometime the member of organization can disagree with the rule or regulation but they need to move away from their principles in order to manage their jobs effectively and professionally. However, it is difficult to execute both management and organizational theories for employees and employers but they need to maintain interrelation with their practices and organizational structure (Cabrera, 2006).

For this it is important that

employee treat the company fairly. Further the employers have to treat their employees in better manner. Therefore, it needs to develop a valuable organizational culture.

Addition to this approach can develop innovative ideas so that organizational effectiveness can be increased. However, it also provides suitable tools for decision making by covering entire human activities and macro conditions. For an example : Mark & Spencer adopts decision theory approach for gaining innovative ways to develop product and services (Allio, 2013). Management and employees together make plans to resolve the problem. Employees of the organization are provided information that can help in providing suitable solution for problems.
